Double pointed needles may seem scary at first, but learning how to knit with double pointed needles will improve your knitting game in so many ways. If you want to knit socks, mittens, sweaters, or even hats, you’ll want to master double pointed needles. In this knitting video, you’ll learn why these bad boys are necessary, how they differ from circular needles, and most importantly, how to use them!
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
1. Why you need DPNs
2. Why DPN knitting is like taking a bus

* Footnote for knitting nerds: Okay, there exist micro circular needles that are teeny-tiny and smaller than 16", but honestly, those things are crazy. I tried them once and my hands were cramping after fifteen minutes. I find them unpleasant, and I’d much rather work with double pointed needles for my small circle knitting needs. But if you're a daredevil, try out a pair of micro circulars and maybe you'll never need DPNs again. Who knows! Have at it!

Just knit in the round to a good metal genre playlist. Then you and the dark one himself can have cozy things after summoning him

I'm a rookie knitter, I've never knitted with DPN and I've never seen it done...until your video. Your video was so understandable and so concise that By Jove, I think I've got it! I LOVED your train and bus analogy! Absolutely one of the best tutorials I've had the pleasure of watching. Thanks so much!

This is my exact thought! I’ve seen photos on Instagram of people using these and thought it looked so intimidating! But this tutorial took all my fright away!

I'm literally only knitting my first ever item (a scarf) and just clicked on this out of curiosity. Damn it, I thought I just knit stuff and then stitch it together to make socks and beanies. Everyone else here is like "yay you gave me confidence" and I'm like "what?!?! This knitting stuffs already hard enough withouht throwing two more needles in there!" lol I'll definitely be coming back to this video when it comes time to complicate my knitting a little more haha thank you!

@RICDirector 4 года назад

I much prefer my DPNs connected by a cord, like Addi circulars. DPNs always slide out and fall, where my cats take them and run like hell. For small stuff, and anything in the round, I use TWO circulars. Works freaking awesome. :)

@juliadefranco1130 4 года назад

It's a really steep learning curve when you start out! I knit my first scarf about three years ago. I don't think socks are a good second project. There are patterns for handwarmers where you knit them flat and then stitch them up. I like this site for basic newbie patterns and tips: www.simple-knitting.com/easy-knitting-patterns.html

I also started with crocheting but then I wanted to knit sweaters for winter thinking I could finish at least two sweaters... NOPE on the second day I was only at 6-7 rows. Had to start all over at least 14-15 times. It’s been 20 days and I just finished the back piece, even undoing the stitches is complicated 😪 in crochet it was like you just pull the string..

I have also been knitting for 50 years and never used double pointed needles. Your video was informative and easy to follow.

I somehow cobbled it together with 4 single points and constantly taking off stitches and switching them to a needle with the correct facing point-- it was a mess 😅 This makes way more sense!

Thank you so much for teaching me how to knit on double pointed needles! I wanted to learn how to knit clothes, but I don't have the patience to make them full-sized so I got one of those little wooden mannequins that artists use to get proportions right, and I wanted to knit clothes for that but circular needles are to big, and I tried watching a different tutorial, but they didn't explain it as well as you did, so thank you!

You rock! This video has been sitting on my watch later list for a long while now. It just looked too complicated at the time. Today, I needed to channel some frustrated energy into something worthwhile other than stewing. I learned how to use dpk's! Wow. It's far easier than I thought. I can now start planning on mittens, socks, and, one of these days, sweaters. :-) Thank you for your clear, paced instructional videos.

@michaelkurtz1967 2 года назад

Love the video. I am going to try sgain. Never understood the naked needle. Using the bus analogy makes me think of city buses. Sometimes the journey is so tedious you don't remember why you even wanted to be there to begin with. The best thing I have ever done with DPNs is make I cord. Something very satisfying about making cord. Regards

I’ve been struggling with dpns. Your video has encouraged me to keep practicing. Thank you for sharing. 🥰

I’m a beginning knitter, just finished my first class. Made a sampler cowl with 5 stitches. I love it! I enjoy your videos so much! You explain so clearly and have answered so many of my questions. I love the bus analogy! I watch you all the time to learn from your experiences.
